^ Weak post and a pointless post.

Thread was about how Durant and Melo were basically equals.

These arguments are super weak because Durant isn't out of Melo's level in any component of basketball. Being more efficient is great, but head to head; their skill level are both A level. It's a preference, not a fact.

Plus you research is elementary.
Anyone can go to ESPN or NBA.com and look up these stats.

Other stars? KD only plays with one, and that's Westbrook.

Last star Melo played with was an aging Iverson who was at the end of his career, Iverson still managed to average of 25 points per game playing with Melo. What stars do Melo play with? KD isn't even the alpha player on his team. KD lacks balls and he shows it when he plays against Melo who has dominated him. Melo is too physical, strong and aggressive for KD.

That's such a stupid question you should be banned from the site after such a terrible first post.

Yawn. You prove my point. Stop running.

Let's talk present, that okay with you?

Durant co-exists alongside a ball-dominant player. And yet his scoring still virtually tied with Melo, even in just ppg? Who is Melo playing alongside? Certainly not Amare (not like he didn't already take that man's career down the hill since he came to NY)

How has Amare's career been with Melo -- taking away all injuries, how have Knicks fared when they on court together?

So you can't end anything with a weak post. This is KnicksOnline.com, you're a noobie. You will get served here with the ease especially since you're coming through with the weakness.

Stop. Running. This ain't WWE my man. Fake story lines don't work.

Your arguments, quoting head to head stats from selected samples, is as weak as the LEBRON haters who crafted stats outta their azzes to try to prove some agenda. Greatness is greatness; better is better; cream rises to the top.

Durant is a superior basketball talent and teammate to Melo. How have Nuggets franchise and fans felt since Melo left? How you think OKC do if Durant leaves in ANY similar type trade for prospects and picks?

You right -- this thread was about them being equals (though how come so many than are saying here Melo is better? wassup with that?).

But they aren't equals, not by ANY metric or gauge of success....except you pulling a small sample size of head to head matchups.

If we wanna pull out small sample size stats, how about this one:

Melo's teams getting prematurely bounced in the playoffs, including getting broomsticked while with the Knicks.

When Melo can take a team through the playoffs, to the point he can sniff the sweat off Lebron's jersey...then we can talk about Melo having some special sauce that Durant doesn't.

You producing too big of a bark, for a player who hasn't demonstrated that type of bite.

Honestly. I am surprised to see this from you. I've read many of your posts and this Melomania is like your struggling to prove a point bc of your Knick pride being so strong.

Fake story lines actually work, WWE is a successful company.

My arguments are pretty strong because they prove Durant is Melo's puto. It's a 12 game sample size, accurate amount of match ups between two guys. You're lucky I didn't use rookie Durant because the stats would of favored more. I used it from 2010, where Durant was entering his elite status. Durant folds against a Superstar like Melo and Melo ain't the only guy Durant folds against who holds superstar status. History tells this, you can't rewrite history. This ain't no script.

Superior basketball talent? Please.

They're both amazing talents, you're making Melo sound like Corey Maggette. Melo is one of the greatest high school, college freshmen and has been the 2nd best SF of this decade behind LeBron. I respect Durant's talents as a 6"11 SG/SF/PF athletic freak with the skill set of a Ray Allen meets T-Mac...you won't see a guy like him in a while. But if you're going to ignore everything Melo offers then it's not worth talking about. Melo's skill set is on the A level so is Durant. It's pretty much equal when it comes to talent and skill. How is that being bias or being a homer? I'm telling it like how it is. You're desperately coming here to Durant's defense and you name gives it away "ThunderThighs". The only bias statements and uninformed beliefs are coming from your part of town.

We're comparing players, not teams. Winning in the playoffs is a team effort.

If you want to compare teams, then Bruce Bowen is better than Melo.

So lets stick to comparing these guys head to head because that argument that doesn't hold much weight either. Melo turned Denver from one of the worst teams of the decade into players into the playoffs. Melo can prove you wrong on taking his team deep into the playoffs this season because the Knicks got a good chance to beat the Celtics, Hawks/Pacers/Nets, and the Heat.

You're always the hater of the forum.
The Melo is the Next Glenn Rob actually was a blessing and was made when Melo was struggling averaging Kevin Durant rookie numbers in his start with the Knicks.
But im not going to waste my energy on a hater, you give nothing.

While KD has become numbers conscious, Melo is simply trying to win games and make a run in the playoffs

He doesn't give a **** about 50/40/90 or averaging 4 assists, he moves the ball well enough for our team to operate. More assists doesn't make you a better passer as well, when the **** did numbers all of a sudden make players better than other players.

Melo can create for his teammates way better than KD can, the way Melo passes out of the double team is superb and finds his big for lobs is masterful, Durant passes the ball to an open Martin or Sefolosha or a cutting Ibaka and Westbrook on the break and now he's a great passer GTFO

Analyze the game not the stat sheets, the stats are for fantasy GM's but a pure fan will tell you numbers dont mean much, for example LeBron is the best in the game because his level of play is insane not because of his numbers because if he averaged 3 less rebounds and 3 less assist he'd still be the best in the world, right?

I'm going to put it this way, regardless of any biases towards Melo or KD both are great players and at the end of the day its all about what you prefer and I think Melo is our best bet in New York while Durant is their best bet in OKC

You're saying Durant is better without stating any facts.
Thank you for sharing your opinion.

Metro .... Give it up!

The prooof is in watching Durant's all-around TEAM-performance in any game -vs- any of Melo's games.
Durant is competing at Lebron & D.Wade's level .. Melo's skills & talents has never reach that level ..
its called teamanship .... Melo is strictly a top high-scorer, nuthin else...

Durant's team performance is 1-11 against Melo's team performance.
Melo is just a top high scorer? He had 20 rebounds last night and out rebounds Kevin Durant every time they meet. Durant collects rebounds like Dirk, Melo actually bangs the paint and absorbs contact. Most of the time Melo doesn't get calls, but it doesnt change how he plays. Melo can bully and dominate just by strength and footwork. Durant most of the time relies on being bailed out of a call.

Melo is highly skilled, always been on the elite level. In HS, in College, in FIBA, and especially in the NBA.
